EUTELSAT 9B significantly expands and diversifies resources at our 9° East location for high-growth video markets across Europe.

Taking 9° East to a new level of performance, the satellite increases resources by 12 additional transponders. Capacity is spread across five footprints, with frequency reuse significantly increasing overall bandwidth.

A pan-European footprint delivers a wide coverage for channels seeking maximum reach into satellite homes and to terrestrial headends.

Five regional footprints address high-growth digital TV markets in Germany, Greece, Italy, and the Nordics with the Baltics and Ukraine.

This regional footprint model enables pay-TV platforms and national DTT programmes to efficiently address linguistic markets and in parallel leverage reception from the HOTBIRD neighbourhood.

Built by Airbus Defence and Space, EUTELSAT 9B is a high-capacity Ku-band satellite based on the Eurostar E3000 platform.
